SFIV has arrived ! たのしいです。。



My copy of Street Fighter IV has arrived. Well, this time i bought it as used from a friendly seller in LYN. When he is about to shipped my copy of Valkyria Chronicles, he contacted me that his friend wanted to let go his SFIV R3 Korean Manual then i agreed, whynot. When i open the package, to my suprised it is Region 1 : Collector's Edition Street Fighter IV. He clarified that he found a slight crack on the SFIV R3 disc, which sometimes cannot load. Hence, he decided to sent me his personal copy of SF4 Collector's Edition to me with the same price. Thank you and i'd really appreciate that, you know who you are.This is definately a keeper to me, to be added into my collection of games.

Street Fighter is one of the legendary fighting games released by Capcom. The gameplay is 2D perspective with addtional 3D camera . Characters and environment rendered in 3D which is remarkably stunning and good. It has online gameplay too. Initially, you will started off with a selection of 16 characters, and 9 characters to be unclocked as you progress thru the game. The most noticeable added moves are Focus Attack & Ultra Combos. There are many moves, combos, super and ultra combo to explore with each of the character in this game. Performing the Ultra Combo at a right timing has a certain level of difficulty with the PS Controller, an arcade stick will be most-helpful.

if you a fan of VS game, this is definately what you're looking for. The verdict is MUST BUY !

I just acquired my very first arcade stick which is Madcatz Street Fight IV Tournament Ed. Arcade Stick. When it first released, its completely sold out even though it comes with a premium price. Not to mention play-asia .com sold out in its pre-order stage. So this time, i am lucky enough to own one as i manage to purchase it locally from a trusted seller, alexwlh from lowyat.net as he deliver it all the way frm kl to klang valley.

At the first glance, you can feels that the built of this arcade stick is very solid. when you press the action buttons, it feels smooth and bounce reaction is good. the joystick feels responsive too. i can't find any fault or complaint about it except for the price i paid :p All the vital components are made from a well known japanese manufacturer, Sanwa Denshi which is well known for their exceptionally quality parts for arcades.

So far i've tried it with Soul Calibur, Mortal Kombat II and Tekken, really enjoy it but i still lose ok. Don't think that with this stick , i am god arcade fighter. Somehow it feels like playing in an arcade cabinet .By the time i posted this blog, i am still waiting for my copy of SFIV to be delivered to me...

Blazblue, and King of Fighter XII is coming soon !
